Anthology

Product Description 2009 two CD collection from the Soul superstars. Raised in Gary, Indiana, The Jackson 5 achieved enormous success once signed to the influential Motown label in 1969. They became one of the most successful acts of the '70s, crossing over from the Soul/R&B charts into the all-important Pop market. Though Jermaine was initially meant to be the focus of the Jackson 5, Michael's talents captured the hearts of the world with his voice, energy, charm and youth. Even though the band itself achieved great success, Michael ended up stealing the show and they groomed him for a solo career that would parallel and then eventually surpass that of his brothers. Features 36 tracks including 'I Want You Back', 'ABC', 'I'll Be There', 'The Love You Save', 'Maybe Tomorrow' and many others. Universal. Tienda In retrospect, making 11-year-old Michael Jackson into a sex symbol was maybe not such a good idea, but it made for some great records with his brothers in the first half of the '70s. Anthology is the first compilation in ages to treat the Jackson 5 as a band rather than a franchise--meaning no solo records, though Jermaine's cover of Shep and the Limelites' "Daddy's Home" gets gerrymandered in via a live-in-Japan recording--and as an album act rather than just a factory for turning The Corporation's songs (like "ABC" and "I Want You Back") into hits. It includes all their big singles, but it also plumbs the archive for noteworthy B-sides and album tracks, of which there turn out to be plenty: some ridiculous (a make-way-for-the-new-generation anthem called "The Young Folks," hollered convincingly by a prepubescent Michael), some startling (who'd have thought they covered Funkadelic?), some both (a bouncy take on Jackson Browne's "Doctor My Eyes"). The second disc is especially juicy, documenting the 1973-74 period when the Jacksons fell into the hands of producer Hal Davis and turned out some fantastic, long psychedelic-funk jams, eventually streamlining their new approach into the megahit "Dancing Machine." --Douglas Wolk
